Visual size guide
I have shied away from trying the robson tight and now I know what I have been missing! I'm not a fan of high compression in my abdomen so I decided to size up from my normal bamboo size. I have now worn these lounging around, at ballet class, under dresses, on a plane...possibilities seem endless. The band doesn't need constant adjusting. Because I sized up, I didn't go through a break in period.
I think I wore these for three days straight when I got them. I ordered an L (I’m usually between M/L for Free Label pants). They were tight when I first put them on and I got scare, but they relaxed after a day. I thought they were a tiny bit shiny at first but not really noticing anymore. Super soft, holds me in the right spots, love the high rise, front pocket is just big enough for my iPhone (would love a side pocket version too!!). Will not wait so long in the future to snap up more in other colors.
The quality of these leggings is amazing. I never want to take them off.
I need high-rise leggings with a strong elastic at the top to keep them up. I was hoping that the Robson tights would fit the bill, but they disappointed on both counts. They are high-rise, but it's going a bit far to call them "ultra high-rise". There is a thin elastic at the top, but it wasn't strong enough and after bending over a couple of times the waistband rolled down under my gut.
I am 5'6", 180lbs, Waist - 35", Hips 43" and ordered a size Large, same as the Stevie denim pants.
Pictures are before and after the waistband rolled down.
Everything Free Label touches turns to gold and the Robson Tight is no exception. The material is soft and breathable, and they give you a lovely silhouette. I especially love that they’re high rise and they don’t roll down.
I’m a small in most Free Label pants but I went with medium in the tights and am happy I did. They’re snug without being tight, so small definitely would’ve been too tight for my liking.
The Syrah is gorgeous! These were well worth the price, I’m so happy I finally got a pair. I haven’t been able to take them off since I got them, they’re that comfy.
My only wish list item would be if they also had pockets, but it’s absolutely not a dealbreaker.
